Wisconsin Democracy Campaign: Robin Vos caves again

The Wisconsin Meeting Speaker introduced on Tuesday that he was conserving Michael Gableman on, though Vos had vowed to close down Galbleman’s workplace by the tip of April. Really, Vos initially stated he hoped Gableman would wrap issues up by final October, then final December, then this February, after which by the tip of this month, however he retains giving Gableman an extension.

And the explanation he does so is as a result of Vos is afraid of Trump and Trump’s supporters right here in Wisconsin.

On Monday, Consultant Janel Brandtjen, whom Vos himself foolishly appointed as the pinnacle of the Meeting Committee on Elections, warned Vos to not shut it down.

Then Trump himself issued a threatening remark aimed toward Vos, as Molly Beck reported on the Journal Sentinel.

“Anybody calling themselves a Republican in Wisconsin ought to help the continued investigation in Wisconsin with out interference,” Trump stated. “I perceive some RINOs have major challengers in Wisconsin. I’m positive their major opponents would get an enormous bump within the polls if these RINOs intervene.”

Vos doesn’t wish to be primaried by a Trumpite. And he needs to attenuate the quantity of flak he’s getting from the far proper. So he did what he’s gotten used to doing now: He simply goes together with this Gableman circus, which he dropped at city within the first place.

Vos issued a press assertion on Tuesday that stated, “The Workplace of Particular Counsel will stay open as we assure the authorized energy of our legislative subpoenas and get via the opposite lawsuits which have gridlocked this investigation.”

That is the epitome of weak management.

Vos should know that Gableman has been peddling a pile of lies in regards to the November 2020 elections, and that Gableman’s declare that the legislature ought to look into decertifying elections is poisonous to our democracy, as even Vos’s deputy, Jim Steineke, has acknowledged.

However not Vos.

He gained’t inform the reality in regards to the elections.

And he gained’t ship Gableman packing.

As a result of to do both would jeopardize his personal energy.

And sadly, that’s all he cares about.
